Book Description
Europe is in a troubled state. The macroeconomic situation looks grim, national governments are close to dysfunction, and Europeans are facing austerity and relative decline. The one bright spot on the horizon is the potential for positive action at the level of the city and urban regions. In this book, the editors have assembled a collection of original contributions by scholars from Europe, North America and Asia who offer insights as to how local authorities in Europe might be able to chart a course for their city or urban region during this period of extraordinary difficulty. The volume begins with an Introduction, followed by a set of three papers in Part Two examining European urban competitiveness from the standpoints of measurement and policy. This section also provides a case study of the cities of one country _ Italy _ from which the reader can gain an understanding of the current position of European cities as well as what might be possible going forward. Experience has shown that perhaps the most crucial element in competitiveness enhancement is good and effective governance. To that end, Part Three examines structural aspects of urban government, including polycentric regions, wide metropolitan cooperation, the role of social actors and territorial aggregation. Part Four treats issues of innovation from two perspectives and provides a case study from Eindhoven, while also covering social issues such as demographics, participation, social exclusion and mobility. This set of scholarly reflections will be of considerable benefit to urban practitioners, researchers and students of public policy.

Book Description
En la publicación del Quinto Informe de Evaluación del Panel Intergubernamental del Cambio Climático (ipcc, por sus siglas en inglés), el documento más exhaustivo sobre el tema hasta la fecha, está claramente establecida la influencia humana en el clima y los efectos negativos que tienen nuestras actividades en el cambio climático. Los efectos negativos se traducen en el aumento de la temperatura de la atmósfera, en la acidificación de los océanos, en los cambios en el ciclo global del agua, en el deshielo de los glaciares y en una frecuencia mayor de eventos climáticos extremos. Se sabe que los países en vías de desarrollo no son los más responsables del cambio climático, pero sí son los más sensibles a sus efectos por varios motivos. Sus economías dependen mucho de sectores vulnerables al clima tales como la agricultura, la forestaría y la energía hidroeléctrica; además, por razones económicas, son menos capaces de hacer frente a los impactos de unas condiciones climáticas extremas. Por lo tanto, hoy se publican muchos reportes y estudios sobre el cambio climático en países en vías de desarrollo.

Book Description
In 2018, the city of Cape Town faced the prospect of reaching 'day zero', that is a combination of natural and human-made factors leading to the complete collapse of its municipal water supply. While the rains eventually fell and a major disaster was averted, the fear of running out of water looms large in the psyche of residents in many cities around the world. Water is a non-substitutable, essential, finite and fugitive resource. It is the lifeblood of human endeavour. Cities, through global processes such as Agenda 2030 and forums such as ICLEI exchange best practices for achieving water security. These forums also are collective social spaces occupied by civil society organizations who share strategies and tactics, and the private sector, who compete for markets and contracts, promoting patent-protected technologies. It is these groups - states, civil societies, private sectors - coming together who determine who gets what water, when, and where. It is the job of academics to understand the how and why, and of (academic-)activists to fight for equity of access and sustainability of use. Evidence drawn from around the world and over time consistently shows that water flows toward money and power. Outcomes are too-often socially inequitable, environmentally unsustainable and economically inefficient. How to shift existing processes toward improved practices is not clear, but positive outcomes do exist. In this collection, we compare and contrast the challenges and opportunities for achieving urban water security with a focus on 11 major world cities: Bangalore, Beijing, Cairo, Cape Town, Chennai, Istanbul, Jakarta, London, Melbourne, Sao Paulo and Tokyo. Through the theoretical, conceptual and practical insights provided in these case studies, our collection constructively contributes to a global conversation regarding the ways and means of 'avoiding day zero'.
